FreeBSD 14.0: Can't scan for stations #808

Open ehaupt opened 4 months ago

ehaupt commented 4 months ago

On FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE, I can't scan for radio stations with my Realtek RTL2838UHIDIR.

I am using the version from ports (version 2.4, pinned to git commit 0aacf578d77d79212483cd6fce436fb66523f63f). When starting up welle.io, I get:

According to your excellent tutorial video, I should have a three-dot icon to the right of the 'All stations' drop-down menu. As you can see in my snapshot, it does not appear.

Permissions to the device should not be a problem. When running dump1090 as the same user, I get:

Any help with getting welle.io to work on FreeBSD 14.0 would be much appreciated.

andimik commented 4 months ago

Have you tried to use rtl_tcp?

ehaupt commented 4 months ago

From what I understand rtl_tcp provides a way to stream the raw data from the RTL-SDR dongle over a network.

I can start it and it will listen to 127.0.0.1:1234

andimik commented 4 months ago

So the issue is solved and you will use rtl_tcp as it works now?

ehaupt commented 4 months ago

Not quite :-) The original report was about the fact that welle.io does not show the three dot channel scan icon.

andimik commented 4 months ago

I still can't follow you. Do you see the dots when you are using rtl_tcp?

ehaupt commented 4 months ago

It seems like you'd like me to start rtl_tcp and then welle-io. I wasn't quite sure before.

However, doing this doesn't seem to change anything. As you can see in my original screenshot of welle.io, there aren't any three dot icons to initiate a scan.

@ehaupt

This seems to be a similar issue. The icons were not visible.

Confirmed. Clicking the area where it's supposed to be will open the context menu:

So please try various (manual) gain settings and scan again. If not found, scan manually on the channels where your local signals are.
